Creator of the Stars of Night
Creator
of the stars of night,
thy
people’s everlasting light,
O
Christ, Redeemer, save us all,
and
hear Thy servants when they call.
Thou,
grieving that the ancient curse
should
doom to death a universe,
hast
found the healing, full of grace,
to
cure and save our ruined race.
Thou
cam’st, the Bridegroom of the bride,
as
drew the world to evening-tide;
the
spotless victim all divine.
proceeding
from a virgin shrine.
At
whose dread name, majestic now,
all
knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
All
things celestial Thee shall own,
and
things terrestrial, Lord alone.
O
Thou whose coming is with dread
to
judge the living and the dead,
preserve
us from the ancient foe
while
still we dwell on earth below.
To
God the Father and the Son,
and
Holy Spirit, Three in One,
praise,
honor, might, and glory be
from
age to age eternally. Amen.
